The WNBA All-Star Weekend is a festival of basketball exhibitions and events held each July in the middle of the WNBA season, the highlight of which is the WNBA All-Star Game. Following in the tradition of other American sports leagues, the WNBA All-Star Game was first held in 1999, 2 years after the league began playing.
The All-Star Game features 24 of the WNBA’s top players; in previous years the game has been comprised of the United States women's national team against a team of remaining WNBA All-Stars.
As an exhibition, the All-Star Game is as much about entertainment as it is sporting competition, so expect high scores and some impressive showmanship on display. As well as the All-Star Game, the All-Star Weekend also features events such as the 3-Point Contest and Skills Challenge.
